Pro Audio Support

Q:
I am experiencing a significant delay in Pro Tools 5 between the time I hit Play and the time it actually begins playing audio. My disk cache in Memory Control Panel is 512k.
 
A:
Check to see if the application memory minimums are set correctly for Pro Tools and/or DAE. Quit Pro Tools, get info on the Pro Tools and/or DAE application icon, go to Memory, highlight the number in the Minimum field, type zero and hit return. Relaunch Pro Tools.
